The scale for grading motor recovery of the operated limbs

System for grading nerve motor recovery
0	No contraction (total palsy of the limb)
1	Return of perceptible contraction in the proximal muscles (limb palsy below the elbow, dragging of foot)
2	Return of perceptible contraction in the proximal and distal muscles (ability to move the foot during walking)
3	Return of function in proximal and distal muscles to such a degree that all important muscles are sufficiently powerful to act against gravity (ability to resist weak mechanical force and stand on disabled foot)
4	All muscles act against strong resistance and some independent movements are possible (disabled foot strong enough to push back during walking, slight contraction of fingers)
5	Full recovery of all muscles (difference between healthy and operated limb hardly visible)
